Swimming

Last week we went swimming. We stayed in for a couple of hours and then we went to the park behind the leisure centre to play and have lunch.

Our first craft session

Theo wanted to have a go at making articulated hands.

You draw around your hand, cut it out, score and fold lines where the joints should be, stick straws between the joints for bones and then thread string through the straws.

When you pull the string the hand opens and closes.

When they'd finished making their hands we tidied up and had lunch together.

After lunch the children decided to play twister.

Anyone who's been to my house knows that my lounge is really small. In fact the little square of floor space is exactly the size of a twister mat.

It was hilarious, we had all six children playing twister until they collapsed in a giggling heap.

Rebecca had a game against Levi and she was winning until he leant against her and knocked her over.

Rebecca has found a new vocation. She's going to be like those women who put coloured braids in peoples hair only instead of braids she's going to put loads of coloured sticks in their hair.

She tried it out on my new best friend Laura.
